Veterinarians in Albuquerque

“TLDR: Affordable, easy to schedule, caring staff, efficient, honest, and did not push sales of other services or medications.

I made an appointment with them because they were the only veterinary clinic that could see my dog in under a month.

I was pleasantly surprised by how kind and caring the staff was and the short wait time to be seen. The veterinarian clearly explained what happened to my dog, Patellar luxation, and what I would have to do in the long run about this. Apparently it is common and will happen again.

She did not push surgery, medication, or any other unnecessary medical treatments for my dog. On the contrary she explained that proper vigilance and swift action thereafter would be the best long term treatment. She explained multiple surgeries would cause scare tissue and may be counter productive in terms of treatment.

Now the price was much less than I had imagined. For context at TLC I paid $300 for them to examine my dog when she had the flu. I didn't recieve any medication and was told to feed her baby food. Here they examined my dog explained treatment options and I only paid $65. It would have been 130, but they offered me a half price discount for it being my first visit.

I came to them because I had no other choice. But their treatment, kindness, and honesty made me decide to make them my new go to veterinary clinic for my dogs.“

“Dr. Flower is a wonderful, caring veterinarian. I highly recommend her for your fur family.“

“Bolton Animal Hospital is fantastic. Dr. Doran is amazing and takes excellent care of our cat and dog. We've been going there for years and have always had a very positive experience any time we go. All the staff there are great, very welcoming, and friendly. I would highly recommend Bolton Animal Hospital.“

“Fantastic staff. Truly compassionate.
Visited twice this year with elderly pets. They maybe really bad days bearable.“

“I have been using Acequia for four years, for my two dogs and cat. They have a great team, they don’t cost an arm and a leg, and they have seen us through multiple health issues with our animals, and kept my pets healthy. I’m very happy with them!“

“Dr. Smith is the kindest person! She and her team are friendly, caring, and respectful of individual concerns regarding costs. They are transparent with fees and offer options for approaching problems/diagnoses/treatments.
Desert Hills also does everything they can to address urgent matters (they are not an emergency clinic but will direct you.)
The clinic itself is spotless, bright, and welcoming. Highly recommend!“

“They saved my horse's life! Dependable and trustworthy. I can trust their diagnosis and know my horse will receive the best care possible.“

“Dr Williams is a wonderful and caring vet. Also, the costs are reasonable and won't break the bank.“

“What a great team! They have been so kind and helpful. They explain things very well and answer all questions clearly. They are so compassionate and took excellent care of my kitty (and we’ve been coming here for 8 years). Both doctors are experts in their crafts. I trust them all completely! The front desk is also wonderful. The purrfect place to bring your kitties :)“

“The staff was so caring and compassionate. I felt like they took such good care of my fur baby!“

“The facility houses several veterinary specialists so do not be put off by the lack of signage on the exterior of the building identifying the dermatologist in specific. Ample parking to include several handicap parking spaces. The clinics have a consolidated reception desk who greet you on arrival and then notify the clinic that you have arrived.

The staff of the dermatology clinic are very friendly. Things will move quickly if you have filled out the paperwork they send you ahead of time. Both the RNs and Dr. Mount are super friendly and were able to put my cat at ease. They take time to see if you have any questions and do an excellent job explaining the diagnosis.

They are the only veterinary dermatologist in the state of NM so you may find that the wait time for initial appointments are longer than one might expect. However, I can strongly recommend this clinic for pet ear issues and/or skin issues.“

“Dr. Paxton is incredible. He has done so much for my families horses. He has helped so much on those difficult calls.“

“The vets and staff here are excellent. They really take the time to explain treatment options and even present options outside of their clinic. They are also very responsive when urgent issues arise. They also provided information on how to reduce the cost of RX medication. While it may take a little longer to get the initial appointment, they are well worth the wait.“

“we had initially scheduled an appointment to put our cat, Bud, down at 11am. unfortunately Bud passed earlier in the morning. we brought him straight in as we were planning to use their private cremation service regardless. i wish i got her name, but the blonde receptionist was so kind and patient as we said goodbye to Bud. she sat there and patiently listened as i told her about Bud and his favorite things. she gave us the time we needed to say goodbye even though we came in without notice 3 hours before our scheduled appointment. would recommend them 100%. thank you again“

“This office is really friendly and very nicely laid out. My dog loves to visit, as the girls at the front and back desks really spoil him! The veterinary care is top rate.“

“Dr Bays identified Czar's skin issue! Sharpeis, gotta love 'em! So happy we have him in the care of Taylor Ranch Veterinary!“

“This Vet is just so wonderful . They really care so much for the fur animals. They know how to make a vet visit experience a good and pleasant experience for your animal, they greeted my dog & I w/ treats to make him feel comfortable, safe and less anxious. For the 1st visit, it should be a rewarding experience for them , not traumatic.“

“Aztec is a wonderful business with employees that give the pets a lot of attention and will even follow up visits with a phone call or respond to follow up questions after the visit. Maybe a little pricier than some other local vets but it is highly worth the extra effort they put into their services“

“Recently, I brought a very sick stray cat to see Dr Sandlin and her staff. This male cat had been outside in the elements with no human to care for him for quite some time. He was a geriatric cat ( over ten years old),emancipated with hip bones and vertebrae protruding from his thin body, poor vision, poor teeth, probable feline leukemia and possibly a terminal illness .He was with me for almost a month and was peacefully euthanized with the compassionate Team at St Francis'. I am forever grateful for this vet and her caring Team. I have an animal rescue and, I will be bringing all of my animals to this loving Team of "angels". Within 1 day, I have already received a card of condolences from the clinic. Bless all of the employees at this clinic !!!xo“

“Dr Wilson is not just a great doctor of Oriental medicine for animals, she is a GREAT veterinarian, period. I have multiple experiences where she saved our pets, but I'll share the two most important.My wonderful dog was diagnosed with lymphoma at 14 years of age. It was clear very quickly that chemotherapy was not going to be a great fit and could cause more harm than good. The only option that Western veterinary medicine can provide was to put her on prednisone and they informed me that that would keep her alive and comfortable for about 12 weeks prior to a harsh prednisone crash. Anxious to provide my dear Lana with a softer landing to transition into death I called Dr Wilson who we had seen for a variety of reasons over the years. (Her acupuncture is particularly helpful for ailments like arthritis.) I took a leap of faith and decided to try Dr Wilson's treatments and was prepared to put Lana back on the prednisone if she was suffering. However, the prednisone was not necessary. The combination of Chinese herbs and acupuncture were miraculous. Lana didn't live the mere weeks that they had assured me was all she had left. She continued to thrive going for walks and enjoying her meals for a full 14 MONTHS after her lymphoma diagnosis! I know Dr Wilson can't always guarantee these types of outcomes, but I will always be indebted to the woman who gave my dog a whole extra year of quality life and comfort and a chance for a more comfortable and dignified death.Her protocols also helped our cat avoid bladder surgery when we had been told there was no other option. And she also saved our dear cat's life because when our usual veterinarians looked at the X-rays during an acute illness they said they didn't see anything. When I sent the x-rays to Dr Wilson, she looked and told me she believed that cat was having a medical emergency that required an ultrasound as soon as possible. Turned out she was right! Our cat was suffering from an acute case of pancreatitis and thanks to Dr Wilson we were able to catch it in time to save her life.For pain management, arthritis, and just general improvement while struggling with chronic conditions Dr Wilson is a remarkable clinician. She is a vet who cares and has a tremendous wealth of knowledge and experience to drop on. I cannot recommend her enough. We will always be grateful.“

“Thanks for take care my little boy ? Moka!This clinic is complete and convenient to everyone, great service staff...all of you ladies! .Mom Ivannia G“

“Sam had his establishing visit today, got some shots, and we were on our way! Everyone there, from the nice woman who greets you, and checks your buddy in, to the medical assistants, and the doctor: ALL of them are VERY helpful, and clearly exclusively concerned in what is best for the health of your pet! Needless to say, I was very pleased (Sam less so, because he doesn’t like needles ?), and we will continue to take Sam to De Anza, for as long as we remain in Los Lunas (for residents of Los Lunas: this place is quicker to get to than places in Los Lunas proper, if you live on the west side; believe it or not…)“

“I run Tiny Toes Rat Rescue of NM and want to say that we have consistently received fabulous veterinary care for our rescued rodents as well as our personal dogs and cats. The staff at this clinic mean the world to me!“

“All of our ten Golden Retrievers over the past 38 years have been patients of Northwest Animal Clinic. The Dr's and staff have shown a lot of compassion to our animals and us. Our Golden's have been given great care. We love Yvette..she is so knowledgeable and sweet. We love Dr Falk...she is caring and really explains everything to us. We are so glad for all of them!!“

“I could not be more pleased with my visit at Acequia Animal Hospital! Dr. Gray and Ray were outstanding in their knowledge and approach to my dogs needs and listened and acted on my concerns. The front desk staff was professional and engaging. Thank you all for a truly wonderful visit, we'll be back!“
